Product Information
Cape Colony is proving a tiresome assignment for Captain Kydd's daring commander-in-chief Commodore Popham. Rumours that South America's Spanish colonies are in a ferment of popular unrest and of a treasure hoard of silver spur him to assemble a makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack on the capital of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate, Buenos Aires. Navigating the treacherous bars and mud flats of the river, the British invasion force lands and wins a battle against improbable odds, taking the capital and the silver. But nothing is as simple as it seems in this region of the world: the uprising that will see the end of Spanish rule never arrives and the locals begin to see dark conspiracies behind the invader's actions. Soon the tiny British force finds itself surrounded by an ever more hostile population. The city begins to revolt against its liberators. Now Kydd's men must face fierce resistance and the betrayal of their closest allies. Can they save themselves, and their prize?Product Identifiers

Don’t miss the Thomas Kydd series.
The series describes the brilliant life of young Thomas Kydd, wig maker from Guildford, who falls foul of the press gang and finds himself in the Royal Navy in the 18th and 19th centuries. Initially hating the life, he soon takes to it and eventually, at the time of writing this, becomes Captain Sir Thomas Kydd. No doubt higher ranks to come. Julian Stockwin is a master of his craft with a deep and intimate knowledge of sailing ships of that era. The stories are brought to life in the audio books by the incredible narrator Christian Rodska who has a different and recognisable voice for each of the many characters, another master of his craft. Start with the first KYDD, and enjoy an incredible journey.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
